Key takeaways
- UNITED SERVER one-year anniversary on August 19

BLACK DESERT MOBILE will mark the one-year anniversary of its UNITED SERVER — the global cross-region merge that unified Taiwan/HK/Macau, Japan, and other Asian servers — on August 19, and Pearl Abyss has launched a five-week celebration event starting immediately. The seasonal run will treat each week to a different region theme, beginning with Asia and continuing through Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania.
Across the five-week window, Velia will host an "O.N.E. 1st Anniversary" commemorative cake; interacting with the cake grants a 24-hour 50% combat experience bonus every time, a repeatable pick-me-up for progression. Players can also build an in-game picture book titled "[Around the World] Together-Made Memory Album" by completing regular game content and weekly celebration tasks; finishing the album yields multiple temporary buffs and assorted growth-support items. There’s also an "O.N.E. 1st Anniversary Countdown Calendar" that unlocks extra weekly gifts when opened for five consecutive weeks.
Weekly activities tie into each regional theme. The Asia kickoff includes a limited-time "Dawn Country Market" where adventurers can buy practical items at discounted prices, among them the Black Shrine Entry Ticket. Completing designated tasks nets "Bright Lights," which you can trade at an exchange for needed materials. During each week’s conquest period, a time-limited boss named Pik appears on Wednesdays with a chance to drop rare rewards such as Breath of Emptiness and Eye of Emptiness.
Why it matters
Pearl Abyss will stream an anniversary broadcast on August 19 at 4:30 PM Taiwan time on the official BLACK DESERT MOBILE YouTube channel, featuring a lucky-number raffle and other on-air activities that award in-game prizes. If you aim to stack reliable week-to-week progression boosts, the cake’s 24-hour 50% combat XP and the album/exchange rewards are the concrete pulls to plan around.
